Limited Warranty

TP-Link Australia Pty Ltd (TP-Link Australia) provides a limited warranty on all eligible TP-Link products originally purchased in Australia or New Zealand from an authorised retailer. The limited warranty covers failures due to defects in material or workmanship on the primary device, antenna and external power supply. Packaging, software products and technical data are not covered under the limited warranty. The limited warranty does not extend to uninterrupted or error-free operations. Purchase receipt from an authorised retailer and a complete product serial number are required to receive any services guaranteed as part of the limited warranty.

Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.
